BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund

18 years and over

Closes Wed 18 March, 11:00 GMT

The Short Film Fund awards £5,000 – £25,000 of National Lottery money to producer-and-director teams to help with the production of scripted films of up to 15 minutes, in either live action, animation or immersive.

Producers can apply for between £5,000 and £25,000, for stand alone fiction short films in live action, animation or immersive/virtual reality, that have directors based in England. Projects can be up to 15 minutes in length and teams must be made up of at least two people across the three creative roles of writer, producer, and director (director-producers are not eligible to apply). 

The fund is intended to stimulate new ideas and stories, so it doesn’t support adaptations of existing material, apart from of the writer’s own previous work.
